Collector's Note

Unlike resin, this solid basswood piece allows for anatomical precision found in our full Hand-Painted Collection. Basswood is the preferred medium of master carvers worldwide: its tight, uniform grain holds crisp detail at any scale, resists warping across seasons, and accepts paint with exceptional fidelity — ensuring your ornament looks as vivid in ten years as it does today. The natural warmth of the wood also adds a tactile richness that no synthetic material can replicate.
